| Contoocook was built into Dick Elwell's layout following his move to a new home in 2002 and is now called Cheshire. |
Don Janes and I visited Dick Elwell's layout during the late fall of 2013. One of the scenes I took a few photos of was built by Lou Sassi for his book "
A Realistic HO Layout For Beginners" 1998 Kalmbach Publishing. This portion of the layout was then incorporated into the Hoosic Valley Ry...George Dutka

| Looking down at the town once called Contoocook. The station is the Rutland Ry. New Haven kit. I will shortly show you my take of this structure. |
I saw this photo and said to myself, "wow, that looks just like Lou Sassi's layout. I must have bought Lou's Book, A Realistic HO Layout For Beginners about 15 years ago. It got me started in this hobby and I still use it as a reference. Very cool to know that the Contocook layout is still alive and well!
